The method
Step by step
- 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato juice, fresh lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Using chilled tomato juice will help the mixture freeze faster.
- 2
Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined.
About 1 min
- 3
Pour the mixture evenly into the compartments of an ice cube tray.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: A standard 16-cube tray works well for this amount.
- 4
Place the tray in the freezer for about 90 minutes, or until the mixture is firm but still scoopable.
About 1 hr 30 min
Cook’s note: The texture should be like a granita or sorbet, not a solid block of ice.
- 5
Spoon the frozen tomato mixture into small, chilled serving glasses or bowls.
Cook’s note: Chilling the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand will keep the freeze from melting too quickly.
- 6
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
